Notability of RK Auto Group

A tag has been placed on RK Auto Group, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. RJASE1 ^Talk 15:43, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RK Auto Group

Hello Fang Aili, I am writing concerning an article you recently deleted, 'RK Auto Group'. I'm in the proces of adding additional articles that will link in to the RK Auto Group page, as well as adding additional citations to 3rd party sources. I've taken way too long to do so; my apologies. May I ask that you restore the article and give me 2 weeks to complete the work? If you don't find the additions make it worthwhile then I will understand. I'd appreciate any feedback you have to offer. I'll be using your postings as examples to ensure my contributions are worthwhile and you're happy with what's to come. I believe that, when properly written, it will be clear that the founder of RK Auto Group and the business itself have made major contributions to the Virginia Beach area / community, and that they are noteworthy. Thank you for your time and hopefully, another chance. :) Leslie Carruthers Lesliekc 22:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will place the article here: User:Lesliekc/RK Auto Group. Be advised that it needs to assert notability, as well as be written in an encyclopedic manner, before it can be included in Wikipedia. Cheers, Fang Aili ^talk 01:13, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for review of an article - can you help?

I have another question for you. A woman who has held a prominent political position in the midwest has discovered a page was created on her in Wikipedia and contains uncited and non factual information. Can I ask you to review the page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_L._Campbell), or is there another editor that makes more sense to ask? I appreciate any guidance you can offer.

RK Auto Group revision posted for your review - thank you!

Hello Fang Aili, you deleted this page and then kindly gave me the chance to revise it, on my user page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lesliekc/RK_Auto_Group) to meet a minimum threshold of notability. Would you please let me know if that has happened? thanks much! 66.61.72.229 03:35, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I really appreciate your efforts. Unfortunately I don't think this meets the guidelines at WP:CORP (notability guideline for corporations). It would be great material for a personal website or a car-oriented wiki, perhaps. --Fang Aili ^talk 14:25, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha - thanks for the link. After reading that page I'm still not clear. Is the problem not enough attributable sources? We have only newspaper articles, but they are more than surface pieces (nontrivial). Or is it because we are a regional business? Sorry - don't mean to be a pain, I promise, just want to understand. Then I'll move on to something more productive or make the page work for the community, if that is possible. I know you are very busy and appreciate any feedback you have to give. Our group was really proud to be listed in the Wikipedia and would love to regain that honor, if possible. Thanks much! Lesliekc 01:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The problem in my mind is that of notability--I see there were a few articles written in the local Virginia paper, but do those articles mention how the auto group affected the community (in some notable way)? Has this auto group been in the news outside of Virginia? And right now, to be honest, the article comes across more as an advertisement than anything else. Keep in mind that Wikipedia attempts to be a global encyclopedia, not a collection of random information (even if it is well-written and sourced). Does this make sense? I don't want to hurt your feelings, and I don't want to come across as high-than-thou or anything like that. You can ask other Wikipedians for their opinions if you like. Use Wikipedia:Help desk.
